At least you didn't think that your game was corrupted, which is a surprisingly common assumption that people make when they encounter a Shiny Pokémon for the first time.

You'd think the sparkle animation would be more indicative of the fact that it's special. :P

Female Drowzee in Crystal, just outside of Goldenrod (Route 34). I remember when she popped out thinking "That thing's colour is weird--I'm gonna catch it!". Later, (aside from the Red Gyarados that everyone gets, thus it doesn't count), I found a shiny Diglett (in Diglett's Cave, naturally) and a Raticate between Ecruteak and Olivine (the route with the Miltank). I was quite lucky with Shinies in Crystal. I didn't catch another until late into Platinum (At the Battle Frontier). It was a shiny Illumise. In white, I found a Shiny Amoongus and a Shiny Darumaka. In Black Two, I find Shinies every five days (seriously, I look on their caught date and every single one of them were caught five days apart).

I will be on here very, very rarely. The account is not dead, per se, but I will not be on often. This has become a den of hatred, hostility, and anger. It is not the SPPF it was when I joined, and I really dislike coming here. To those of you who were nice to me and were my friend, thank you. Goodbye.

Before you try to act superior to someone else on here, remember that no matter how much of an "internet cool-guy" you think you are, this is a Pokemon forum.

My first shiny (not counting red Gyrados) was Machoke caught in Cerulean Cave in LeafGreen. I was absolutely shocked because I just thought I would never come across a shiny. I had already been lucky enough to randomly catch PokeRus.

It was 31st June 2012. I was trying my hand at 'mming' with Zorua. It was at 467 eggs, and i was demotivated and accidently entered a shaking grass patch on route 13 (dunno why i was hatching there). The sparkles went off and i screamed, then i realised it was an emolga. Not too bad, its a shiny.

The almighty Turtwig is my claim

If any one has a spare Lopunite could you PM me and we shall negotiate a trade!

Shiny Male Tranquil which I made it have Pokerus, after a trade with somebody and got the Pokemon Yellow legit starter, Pika, the Raichu, with Pokerus. That was actually awesome and VERY random because of how you can't really get shinies. I found it in the dark tall grass with a Seviper and that Tranquil. Now I got a Shiny Dratini from beating Benga in White Treehollow 2 male shinies. One that HAD Pokerus, and the other WITH Pokerus.

(Not counting red Gyrados) was a Rattata in LG. I was just starting over in the game and I wanted to train my Charmander, So I was next to the Viridian City path where you face your Rival after you get your 8th badge before the Elite 4. It was like lvl 4. I was talking to my friend on the phone and my Gameboy Sp Froze before I could save it Q_Q I was SOOOO F***** mad D:< Other then that, Yesterday was a Shiny Metapod in HG without even trying to find it

The first shiny pokemon I saw was a shiny onyta in pearl. I didn't catch it because I already caught one >.> The first one I caught was a shiny cascoon in emerald 2 and a half years ago. I wasn't stupid and did catch it even though I had one.

Chingling in Diamond version. It was the second shiny I had ever seen and the second one I had seen that day haha. The first one was a Graveler that self-destructed Idk why I didn't just use the master ball I had.

Mine was a Roselia in Pokemon Ruby. I just found it at complete random. I was shocked to say the least. I eventually ported it up to Black and now my little NARIKO (that's what I named it for some reason) is a level 62 Shiny Roserade who kicks a ton of ***.

Pokemon Black team: The sixth spot is for whatever I feel like using at the time.

Looking for:

Pm me If you have any of these and I'll see if we can work something out.

My favorite Pokemon:

Shinies:

A man once told me I can't have my cake and eat it too. I then proceeded to eat not only my cake but his as well.

Mine was a Litwick in Black 2. I'd planned on shiny hunting which is kind of what made me really get into the pokemon games, but this one I found while EV training my Umbreon during my playthrough, so it was a complete surprise.

Currently, it sits in my PC box. I don't really like Litwick/Evos much, but I do like the shiny form a lot more...Except that as a Chandelure, it's fire and eyes turn to regular fire colors...Lame =.=

A Seedot in Ruby that I found within 30 minutes of restarting the game. I had no idea why it looked different at the time, but man, I was excited to catch it. Unfortunately I have the sneaking suspicion that I may have saved over the Colosseum file I had transferred it to many years ago. : (

Mine was a spinarak when playing silver on my gameboy
Had no idea what was wrong with it but I caught it anyway
Never evolved it but got it too level 100.
Sadly I lost the game.....
But I traded for one as soon as I got soul silver and started with her and my chickorita

Actually mine was in Heart Gold like 2 months ago. I was in the Bug Catching contest where I was looking for a sycther. I found a female one and got it but I wanted to stay and try for a male. As soon as I caught it I walked a few steps and a Shiny Caterpie appeared in front of me! XD So yeah. It's name is lowfat and is my main pokemon!

Mine encounter wise was a shiny golduck I found randomly in Pearl who escaped my grasp(threw 39 ultra balls that failed, and couldn't weaken it due to being way over lv.d)....
Capture wise my first was Pumkin(I know it's spelled wrong)the shiny Raticate in Pearl version I found randomly, and I still have him in Black version
